Beicher (nee Kimmel) on 22 Feb 1879 in Lebanon, Lebanon, PA. 3 Miss Sarah Beicher, daughter of George Beicher [note: should be William], deceased, who had been ill for only three days, died Friday night. She was aged 30 years. Her niece, Mrs. J. E. Beicher, nee Kimmel, hearing of her illness, visited her Friday evening and at a reasonable hour returned home, took off her wearing apparel, when soon after she fell in a swoon to the floor, and died soon thereafter. Miss Biecher, who was sick with breast fever, had been suffering with a felon on one of her fingers which she picked with a pin and this aggravated it that her whole system became poisoned thereby from the effects of which she died. The arm was black from the elbow down to the hand and she suffered intensely during her last hours. The cause of her niece's death was heart disease.

Just as she died and fell from the chair, her neice, Mrs. J. E.
